800g Brandy Soaked Mixed Fruit

I use it to add to porridge. It sweetens it so no need for any sugar. Also, chop up a red apple and add it with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Gorgeous

If you feed it with as much alcohol as my DH used to do, you might just get it to the finish line, sweetcakes!!😁

James Martin does make an extremely good Christmas cake I myself have made one a number of times. But if you wanted to store it a Christmas pudding would be better.

I do add fruit and yogurt to my granola for breakfast, but infused with brandy might be too early in the day! 😂 James Martin’s recipe sounds good. Thank you for your suggestions.

Sounds good greyduster.

DH made James Martin’s Christmas cake two years running and it was the best we’d ever had. A very easy recipe. That was made with brandy infused mixed fruit from Aldi.

I put mine in porridge with a spoonful of coco, absolutely delicious. I’ll make my way through the three bags in the store cupboard no bother.

We love Affogato.

I make with summer pudding fruit and juices (not espresso), when I have a quantity. I might attempt same with brandy soaked fruit flambéd (more brandy).

I meant to write “a proper cake”

Patsy70 I was thinking of doing the same - being as I missed out a proper this last Christmas.
I presume it would have to be firmly wrapped and stored in a good airtight container, but I am determined to have my cake and eat it 😋
